making more .newsrc.eld backups

2012-05-24T06:52:36

Gentlemen, these are not enough backups.
  /home/jidanni/.backups:
  -rw-r--r--   1 jidanni  119526 05-24 14:40 !home!jidanni!.newsrc.eld.~11811~
  -rw-r--r--   1 jidanni  119526 05-24 14:38 !home!jidanni!.newsrc.eld.~11810~
  -rw-r--r--   1 jidanni  119526 05-24 14:35 !home!jidanni!.newsrc.eld.~11809~
  -rw-r--r--   1 jidanni  119520 05-24 14:32 !home!jidanni!.newsrc.eld.~11808~
  -rw-r--r--   1 jidanni  119488 05-24 14:31 !home!jidanni!.newsrc.eld.~11807~
Because they are generated every time I hit "s".

Please tell me how to make 50 backups instead of 5?

Or tell me how to make a backup of .newsrc.eld to some other filename
every time I start and stop gnus.

Think of all the ways you could wipe out half your groups

Think of all the ways you could wipe out half your groups.

The lesson is to backup your .newsrc.eld very well.

Thanks, I could reproduce it.  It seems indeed to be caused by the
recent changes to Ma Gnus:

2012-02-16  Lars Ingebrigtsen  <larsi< at >gnus.org>

        * mm-decode.el (mm-dissect-singlepart): Guess what the type of
        application/octet-stream parts really is.

I'm attaching a patch.  Lars?

Daiki Ueno — 2012-05-23T02:36:34


Can't reproduce it with either Gnus shipped with Emacs (bzr trunk) nor Ma
Gnus (git master).


FWIW, try (info "(epa) Bug Reports").  And if possible, send me an email
encrypted with mutt (my key ID is D7E69871).

Right, so I did a little bit more testing.  Basically, I removed Ma
Gnus from my Emacs configuration and tried to decrypt the same email
with the Gnus version shipped with Emacs (24.1.50 from git, btw).  And
guess what: it did work.

I'm a complete disaster with lisp, but would I'm available to try out
some suggestions on how to debug this.

Problems trying to decrypt email

Luis Henriques — 2012-05-22T08:57:20

Hi,

Recently I have been trying to setup gnus to decrypt email, but
without too much success.  I'm not sure whether this is a gnus or an
epa configuration issue, or a bug somewhere.

Here's my configuration:

(require 'epa)

(setq mml2015-use 'epg)
(setq mml2015-cache-passphrase nil)
(setq gnus-message-replysign t)
(setq gnus-message-replyencrypt t)
(setq gnus-message-replysignencrypted t)
(setq gnus-treat-x-pgp-sig t)
(setq mm-verify-option 'always)
(setq mm-decrypt-option 'always)

To test it, I've used mutt to send an encrypted email to myself.
I can successfully decrypt this email in mutt, but not on gnus.  When
I access this email in summary buffer, I'm asked for a passphrase.
But then I get only this in the message buffer:

  [[PGP Encrypted Part:Corrupted]]
  [1. application/pgp-encrypted; signedkey.msg]...

  [[End of PGP Encrypted Part]]


Any ideas/suggestions?  What am I missing here?

Cheers,

Many thanks for posting a reply.

It seems that the URLDIR was being set to ...emacs/23.2...  -- as you
noted -- because I apparently (!) have neglected to run ./configure in
the gnus directory (for a *very* long while...) following my "git
pull"s.

Anyhow, the issue I wrote about isn't completely gone, but I think (?)
it is perhaps not so interesting for this list. (When a certain piece of
hardware -- a USB hub -- is attached, various things
"break". e.g. "Suspend"ing the laptop doesn't work correctly. And oddly
enough, running gnus freezes emacs -- even emacs23 -- if (and only if)
the USB hub is connected.  I guess it has nothing real to do with gnus,
but I haven't managed to work out what it *does* have to do
with. Anyhow, it was easy enough to unplug the hub...so the problem
doesn't seem too urgent.)

best,
gm

Japanese translation of Gnus info manuals

Katsumi Yamaoka — 2012-05-15T23:51:38

Hi,

I've transferred gnus-doc-ja to git.gnus.org, special thanks to
Ted and Lars.  Gnus-doc-ja is a fully Japanese translation of
the Gnus info manuals, being synch'd with the Gnus head.  It
used to be in cvs.m17n.org having closed at April.  To download
it, do the same thing as Gnus[1] for "gnus-doc-ja.git".
Currently people who have write access to Gnus can modify it.
Fix, suggestion, and any improvement are welcome.

problems with gnus-posting-styles: groups.

Uwe Brauer — 2012-05-14T08:03:53

Hello

I tried to change my gnus-posting-style setting, the
following works as expected.

      gnus-posting-styles
      '(((header "To" "oub< at >mat.ucm.es")
 (name "Uwe Brauer")
         (address "oub< at >mat.ucm.es")
 ("Reply-To" "Uwe Brauer <oub< at >mat.ucm.es>"))
((header "To" "oub.oub.oub< at >gmail.com")
 (name "Uwe Brauer")
         (address "oub.oub.oub< at >gmail.com")
 ("Reply-To" "Uwe Brauer <oub.oub.oub< at >gmail.com>"))

however I now consider it better to change name, address and
reply to according to the group I am in, not according to the "To" headers.

So I tried 

(setq gnus-posting-styles
 '(("nnimap+gmail:INBOX" (address "oub.oub.oub< at >gmail.com"))))

And "nnimap+gmail:INBOX" is the name of the group in
question as (describe-variable 'gnus-newsgroup-name) found
out. But the setting did not work out as expected the header
looked like

,----
| To: 
| Subject: 
| Reply-to: Uwe Brauer <oub< at >mat.ucm.es>
| From: Uwe Brauer <oub< at >mat.ucm.es>
| Gcc: nnml+archive:sent-mail
| --text follows this line--
`----


I also tried "nnimap+gmail*" but it did not help.
What do I miss?

Thanks

Re: ubuntu 12.4 and git gnus

Eric S Fraga — 2012-05-13T00:50:46


I don't know if this will make any difference, but you may wish to tell
the system that emacs 24 is the default emacs:

  sudo update-alternatives --config emacs

should allow you to choose the emacs-snapshot option as the default.

I would then do a "make clean" in the gnus directory before attempting
to build.

Re: Coloring pieces of messages in Gnus

Eric Fraga — 2012-05-12T07:52:02


This bit is fairly straightforward, I think.  For instance, I have

  ;; verbatim lines starting with : and a space
  (add-to-list 'gnus-emphasis-alist '("^: \\(.*\\)$" 0 1 shadow)) 

which you should be able to adapt to your needs by changing the regex to
one that matches the leading string mentioned above for each case and
change the face to be used to one that meets your requirements (or
create a new face with the colours you want).  You'll need to escape the
+ signs appropriately.


In this case, you will need to use groupings in the regex to pick off
the name and then change the 0 to 1, I think, but I am not sure what the
1 should be changed into.

For the regex, something along the lines of

  "Assigned: \\(.*\\)"

might do the job?


No, I think adding particular entries to the gnus-emphasis-alist should
be sufficient.

HTH,
eric
